A new restaurant is opening up in the IB SF office 'hood on Monday, and due to its close proximity to our South Beach HQ alone, it's deserving of a mention. Welcome, Ironside, the new outfit from the folks that brought you (us...) wine to be imbibed whilst sitting in a U-shape at District.

It's a Fish Party and You're Invited

Crossing a bridge to feed ones self is not something that SFers take too lightly - when we do it, infrequently at best, it is undoubtedly always for a worthy cause. Next week: a worthy cause.

PR Bottle Rocket

Big news in the "eco-water bottle" industry this week: the devastating announcement from green bottle darling, SIGG,  that all of its aluminum bottles produced and distributed prior to August 2008 are lined with BPA-containing plastics.

The World, The Children, etc.

If you're hungry, and live in the Bay Area, next week Menlo Park's Marche is serving up some unique fare for a great cause.
